Plan how you will assemble your pets and anticipate where you will go. If you must evacuate, take your pets with you if practical.
If you go to a public shelter, keep in mind your animals may not be allowed inside. Secure appropriate lodging in advance depending on the number and type of animals in our care.
Consider family or friends willing to take in you and your pets in an emergency. Other options may include: a hotel or motel that takes pets or a boarding facility, such as a kennel or veterinary hospital that is near an evacuation facility or your family’s meeting place.
You should also consider talking with your veterinarian about permanent identification such as microchipping, and enrolling your pet in a recovery database.
Talk with your pet care buddy about your evacuation plans and show them where you keep your pet’s emergency supply kit.

Do not allow your pets to roam loose. You may benchmarks and smells have changed by the disaster and your pet could become disoriented or lost.
Be patient with your pets after a disaster. Try to return them to their normal routines as soon as possible and be prepared to deal with behavioral problems that may result from the stress of the situation. If the health and behavior problems persist, talk to your veterinarian.
